Comparing fanart to fic

[(Anonymous)]

I’m not really into fanart, do you think “baby’s first fanart” gets more flak than “baby’s first fic”?

Re: Comparing fanart to fic

I suspect 'baby's first fic' tends to get more flack while 'baby's first fanart' is more likely to just be ignored entirely. Like the whole Mary Sue hate thing that was big some years back, and what are Mary Sue fics if not 'baby's first fic'? I feel like people are more likely to click on a newbie's fic (especially if the summary sounds legitimately interesting) and then be annoyed when it sucks, while bad fanart is more often just scrolled past and ignored unless the artist either starts flooding the fandom with art or they start throwing a fit about being ignored.

It's also a matter of the time people invest in looking at it. Reading even a short fic tends to take longer than just taking a glance at fanart, and if it sucks, people can feel kind of weirdly betrayed by having wasted even a fraction of their time.

I'd say so. People interacting with fanfic is typically going to be other fanfic enjoyers/writers. People interacting with fanart tends to also include non-fandom people and internet bros looking for something they can mock.
